All the customers using these services can download data in zip file until April 30. After this date, all the data will be deleted from the server. Company also wrote some steps to download data from the server. But HTC is saying it only a renovation. After the renovation, they will again ask users to upload data.
Few days back HTC also announced the deep integration with DropBox. It may be due to that it had planned to close cloud services. But what about older device which do not have Dropbox integration.
Company is planning somethings which it has not announced yet. HTC must provide some more information about this move.
